  The Tories are doing the rounds this sunday via newspapers and TV condemning this whole episode out of hand. They are aghast that any member of their frontbench should be held or should be spied upon. But in truth isnt he only experiencing what many others go through. Indeed it is known that widespread phonetapping and monitoring goes on and probably even here in Dover. In fact wasnt there something in the local papers that DDC gave approval of local listening in something like 50 cases this year alone. Im sure I read that, but dont quote me as totally accurate as Im relying on old memory.
  
  Im sure even lowly me has had a bit of surveilance in the past. Put your head above any parapet and be Irish at the wrong time and..well you can guess the rest.
  
  The Conservatives want the Prime Minister to condemn the police for their action. But no he shouldnt. It is indeed an unusual step for the police to be carrying out such a situation with a Shadow Cabinet member, but if they felt there is crime taking place then they should investigate it without interference from politicians.
